Chapter 297

Akiwara Yuto knew nothing about Dongying Film's guess.

He hurried to the office rented by the temporary crew and saw Asano Aiko who had returned from outside.

After seeing him, Asano Aiko said excitedly: "Akiwara, the first-day box office is out."

Akiwara Yuto smiled, "Tell me, how much."

He looked at Asano Aiko's expression and vaguely guessed that it was good news.

Asano Aiko took a deep breath and said forcefully: "Yesterday's box office revenue was a total of 23.56 million! Far exceeding our expectations!"

Akiwara Yuto didn't pay much attention to it, but after being stunned, he still felt slightly surprised.

The figure of more than 20 million doesn't count as anything; after all, in terms of absolute amount, this result cannot be compared with the first-day box office of other movies, and it is only about one-tenth of some popular movies.

But what surprised him was that this figure exceeded his expected full 1 time!

You must know that he originally estimated a box office of only more than 10 million.

He asked strangely: "Isn't there only more than 30 screens showing it? Why is the box office so high?"

After "Memories of Murder" was filmed, Asano Aiko contacted some cinemas in Tokyo. But the cinema side only valued interests and didn't pay much attention to Akiwara Yuto's fame.

After all, no matter how famous he is, it's not as good as the male and female stars of the movie to the audience.

So although 30 cinemas were finally negotiated, each cinema only arranged 1 screen respectively to let this movie test the water.

Asano Aiko's expression was even more excited and explained: "I asked some cinema owners at the time,

They said that the movie 'Memories of Murder' aroused the interest of many audiences, so they increased the screenings and increased the number of screens.

The number of screens shown yesterday was at least more than 40! And many midnight screenings were added!"

"Midnight screenings, aren't these time slots all garbage time slots?" Akiwara Yuto was a bit puzzled.

In his impression, the movies in midnight screenings are basically sparse, and even a few people can book the whole venue.

"Akiwara, you thought wrong, 'Memories of Murder' is a premiere after all! And its quality is better than other midnight screening movies, so it attracted many audiences!"

Because the box office was excellent, Asano Aiko's pressure was much less, and she smiled very beautifully,

"After this news spread, more than 10 cinemas contacted me today, hoping to screen this movie. And there have been calls coming in just now."

Akiwara Yuto felt relieved; the movie quality is excellent, and the fermentation of reputation will naturally attract cinema operators.

After all, for them, profit is the most important thing!

Akiwara Yuto said with a smile: "It is estimated that more and more cinemas will contact you later, and your workload will increase."

Asano Aiko waved her hand indifferently: "I am even happier with a little more of this kind of hardship."

She thought about it and asked again: "Then can the follow-up promotion plan be arranged?"

Up to now, because of Akiwara Yuto's request, only part of the more than 50 million promotion funds has been used.

In her view, the situation is excellent now, which is suitable for taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and directly releasing all the promotions.

Maybe under the promotion offensive, soon hundreds of cinemas will contact and screen it!

But Akiwara Yuto did not agree, but said: "Wait a little longer, I will notify you in these two days."

After dismissing Asano Aiko to continue to be busy with other work, he walked to the side and made another call to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

The movie "Memories of Murder" is adapted from the Kanagawa murder case.

But in the promotion before the movie, he never emphasized this point, just let people release the wind privately that it was adapted from a real case.

The reason is because he needs to rub the hot spot of the Metropolitan Police Department to form a social driving effect.

Before this, the Metropolitan Police Department had determined who the specific suspect was, but had not caught the other party for a long time.

In the absence of further confessions, the Metropolitan Police Department had not released relevant news because of worrying about the scandal of catching the wrong person.

But as far as he knows, the Metropolitan Police Department has caught the person in these two days.

If it can really be determined that the other party is the murderer, relevant topics will soon drown out the current public opinion.

And the movie "Memories of Murder" can also borrow this hot spot to achieve a rapid increase in box office.

"Assistant Police Inspector Sōma, it's me, Akiwara Yuto."

After the call was connected, Akiwara Yuto asked politely: "Has that fugitive confessed?"

Sōma Dayou said politely: "Yes, he has pleaded guilty, we plan to hold a press conference the day after tomorrow to announce this news."

His voice was very bright; after all, he had been scolded as "trash" before, but now he finally caught the person.

However, he also knew clearly that if Akiwara Yuto hadn't helped correct the psychological profile, he didn't know when he would have caught the murderer.

Akiwara Yuto nodded; the murderer was caught and pleaded guilty, and the Metropolitan Police Department was also preparing to hold a press conference, so he could execute his previous plan.

He calculated in his heart and made another request to Sōma Dayou that was not excessive.

Sōma Dayou showed a stunned expression after hearing this, but he weighed it and agreed.

Time quickly reached the day of the press conference.

In the conference room of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building, a senior official as a news spokesperson announced a piece of news to dozens of reporters below the stage.

"After 3 years, we finally caught the murderer of the Kanagawa serial murder case!

And the murderer has admitted to all his crimes!"

Click click!

Upon hearing this news, many reporters sitting below the stage stood up to take pictures.

Kanagawa Prefecture is within a 50-mile range south of Tokyo, so the people of Tokyo are very concerned about this murder case!

Because it was not solved for a long time, it made many people panic.

Some people even didn't dare to let their wives and daughters go out alone, and it created an extremely bad social influence.

But today, this case was finally announced to be solved!

This is a big news that can be put on the front page!

It is estimated that tomorrow's newspapers can be sold out!

For a time, there was always the sound of taking pictures and flashing flashes below the stage.

It didn't stop until a full 2 minutes later.

Just when a reporter intended to raise his hand to ask relevant questions, this spokesperson said another sentence,

"For solving this case, thank you very much to the detective writer Teacher Akiwara Yuto! Thank him for his contribution to this case!"

Hearing this content, the reporters below the stage showed a very stunned expression.

Akiwara Yuto, isn't he a writer?

What does this have to do with him?
